I Britain's Best Rainwear IAIAlulA REG. T. t:'. BARACUTA, INC., Empire State Building 350 Fifth Avenue, New York 1, N. Y. races At the last moment, the miracle did, apparently, occur. On Monday, November 3rd, the day before the elec- tion, Republican newspapers throughout the nation reported that a major fraud in the Octoher elections in Pennsylvania had been uncovered; Theodore Der- inger, a Democrat who was clerk of the Court of Quarter Sessions in Phila- delphia, had just been arrested for put- ting through fraudulent naturalizations for twenty-seven hundred recently ar- rived foreigners. Fremont's backers wert: overjoyed, and One of Buchanan's campaIgn managers, John W. Forney, was so disturbed that he issued a coun- terblast, which appeared in Democratic papers on November 4th. "Stupendous frauds of the Frémont leaders have been detected," he announced. "The scheme has been dIscovered, and a portion of the money, nearly five hundred dollars, is in the hands of the public authoritIes" Forney was a journalist, but he was apparently adept at fictibn, too; historical sources say nothing of these "stupendous frauds. " November 4,1856, was a mild, gen- erally sunny day In New York City, disappointing the editors of the Journal of Commerce, who had hopefully com- mented, "A rainy day will on the whole be favorable to the Democracy [ the Democratic Party]." Their reason was that Democrats "are not afraid of rain- water when the interests of the country are at stake." Throughout the city, the election went off in what was considered a reasonably orderly manner. To be sure, a group of Democrats in the First Ward (the Battery), led by a fat, red- shirted fellow named Callahan, moved in on the polls in the early hours, heat up several RepublIcans, and effectively dis- couraged others from going in to vote. (U nder the voting procedure of that time, the voter had to ask for a party ballot before going inside.) The police hauled Callahan and the others off at about noon. Later in the day, someone stabbed a man named Finnegan, and in the SIxth Ward, known as the Bloody Sixth, Just north of CIty Hall, rowdies and bullies roughed up Republicans all day. Two crowds-one RepublIcan and one Democratic-approached the poll at 3 Elizabeth Street and fell into a melee that involved the use of pistols axes, clubs, knives, and bricks, but the police broke it up without arresting any- one. Rather inconsistently, they did ar- rest two men a little later for frightening voters with "slung shots." Fights and brawls were also reported from the Eleventh, Thirteenth, Fourteenth, Sev- enteenth, Eighteenth, and Twenty-first NOVEMDER , 195b 1, , , "$ ..., ;. l ':, ' "/ "1' ,f. 1 í" .>Co ^ i> 5' "'.,.:.:'^"..'...";,.'- ,,c. .
